`Mobile' cricket

CRICKET AND more cricket. So obsessed are the youngsters that they want news about cricket in a flash, most of the time. Mobile phone service providers have jumped into the fray, offering not just news but games centred around cricket.

Mauj, a mobile content provider, for instance, has launched a new wireless java game called "Ricky Ponting Cricket 2004." The game features scenario-based play, realistic sound effects, and international teams. The user selects his team and the opposing team and has to bat his team to victory as per the match scenario.

The phone keys are mapped to the corresponding cricket shots in the real cricketing world.
